Scotmid Car Park, High Street
by Kate Hunter
Walking back along the High Street towards the Goth, you will come across the first of three murals housed in the Scotmid car park. The first is the Salters mural painted in 2002 by Kate Hunter. The salt mural tells the tale of the salt making process in Prestonpans with references taken from photos. The majority of the people depicted have been identified. The central feature is the arched doorway of the salt works, the only remaining wall of the original building. Prestonpans is known as “The Pans” because of its salt panning industry.
